    WATERS EAST OF JAPAN (Nov. 4, 2016) Petty Officer 3rd Class Xavier N. Woods directs an SH-60K Sea Hawk helicopter from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) on the flight deck of the forward-deployed Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) during Keen Sword 17. The exercise is a biennial, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Pacific Command-sponsored Field Training Exercise (FTX). It is a joint/bilateral FTX designed to meet mutual defense objectives by increasing combat readiness and interoperability between Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) and U.S. Forces. Barry is on patrol with Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG 5) in waters east of Japan supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
